It really does

Ha except no one is proud of me.

He should learn to be proud of himself.

There was a scene in the movie "Second Hand Lions" were the main protagonist has a "talk" with some teenage boys. The movie doesn't go into the details of that conversation, but older men already know what is being said to the boys. The writers of that movie simply didn't want to cheapen what happens and is said in "the talk". But it is a conversation every young man needs to hear and hardly ever hears it. But here is the thing. Women want attention and admiration. Men want respect. The two are completely different and in no way shape or form does "love" even fall into the equation. What the average human calls "love" is just a understanding that a person you are intimate with has a strong bond with you and we call it love in public. To be honest, I don't think men in general and more and more women even know what that emotion is. Now, women want attention from men but admiration from fellow women. Men just want respect from both. And for men, if a woman isn't within their sphere of influence they don't care if a woman respects them or not. So how do people get what they want when their core desires differ? Women get admiration from other women by living a life they themselves want. Right man, right job, right kids, right house, etc. Attention from men is self explanatory. Men are physically attracted to a woman and in persuing her give her the attention and validation she desires. There is an old saying. Kevin Samuels said it often. Women control the sex. Men control the relationship. And one way women get the attention they desire from men is to get that commitment. The marriage offer. And once they have gotten that attention from a man, she sex dries up in the relationship. Why? Because she used sex to get the attention (either with actually doing the act with a man or offering it as a result of reaching that level of attention). But once the marriage pact has been done, the man has given up all his leverage in the relationship. And the only reason the sex will continue at pre-marriage levels is if the woman (a) enjoys it with the man or (b) wants to have children. And sadly there is a third reason. She is covering up for her adultery and she fears a pregnancy might result from the affair. For men, it is different. We just want respect. How we get it is by keeping our word. Whether it is a business arrangement, a promise to perform some action, or being steadfast in a relationship, it comes down to be respected by others because they know you will fulfill your obligations. And that is why marriage have such a high failure rate. Because women learn that regardless of what they do, the man is pre-programmed to seek that respect. Even from her. And the more attention he gives her, the less she respects the man. Until it just gets to a point where she leaves the relationship (usually with the kids in tow) because she wants to maintain a lifestyle and hurt a man she no longer respects. So what changed? Why has it been so different with relationships the past few decades. Well, pre-social media the average woman wasn't going to get admiration and attention from people outside of her small part of the world. By staying true to the marriage and taking care of the kids, so her husband could focus more on work to provide more for the family, women gained that admiration from fellow women around. Men for the most part were also married, wrapped up in their only jobs and family and simply weren't there to give other women attention. Affairs weren't as common a couple of generations ago because women feared the lost of admiration other women around her would lose if she was involved in a scandal. But then social media came. Women showed themselves getting attention from wealthy men even if that attention was very short lived. They were travelling. Going to high dollar functions. And more importantly, not working a 9-5 or having kids in tow to impact that life style. The romance dime novels so many women read as teens or the Disney Princess Movie on steroids. And they bit in to it. And then over time as women ran into problems due to pregnancies with men who were non-committal, the states kicked in and forced social change. Both with state managed social support systems and child support. It now became viable for women to live a modest life and not be married at all. And only became a problem when the kids were grown, the social family support no longer applied, and their beauty had faded with age. As a man, I'd probably tell a young man that he is off his focus if he is dating in his teen years. His focus is to be the best version of his self he can be. Stay in shape, learn what you can, and become self sufficient. In your 20s it is all about the career. By your mid to late 20s this is when you should be looking to date ... with a purpose. Not to seduce a woman. To find one who hasn't spent a decade making bad relationship decision. And yes, that means dating a woman younger than you. Preferably five years younger than you. Now, one way a woman would respect a man is by him being more experienced than she is. If a man truly expects to be respected by a woman he needs to: by taller, in better physical shape, make more money than her, have more assets, and yes sadly have more sexual partners. If a man is thirty and gets involved with a woman who is thirty the odds are highly against him. Her "body count" is going to be 10X his. And that is going to be the case even if she isn't what she herself considers sexual active. The best advice I can give a guy. Date that young woman who is the cashier at the local grocery store. She is in a sucky job and can see you as the knight in shining armor. Check her phone for social media. If she has a footprint that goes beyond friends and family, I'd suggest ending it. She is looking for attention and admiration beyond whatever you can offer or give. Women with child(ren) is a hard pass. You will never be the focus of her life. And you won't be respected by her or the kids. You are the bank roll. Nothing else. Her focus is herself, her kids, her mother, the pet(s), and then somewhere in distant fifth is you. Whatever commitment you expect from her out of the relationship simply isn't going to happen once she gets that commitment from you because her focus is then on something else in her life. It is a cruel view on life for sure, but the statistics and basic human psychology don't lie.

​@@superdave8248Well said.

I'm surprised she listened

​@@IaconDawnshireI'm not cause they'll listen to everyone else except their husband or boyfriend

My husband cried the first time I came up with date night and also when I made him an all about him birthday dinner. We as women need to do better

Date an animal lover, a Veterinarian. She comes home after euthanizing animals..!? Am I Empathetic guy,Paranoid & afraid to sleep! Or a Weapons Instructor, USMC, & want her to do"better?". Needles, blades, the pistol & rifle like me!! A MATCH GRADE, Should only take "one round" to find out!? Wish me luck!

​@@LunaFlameyes you really really really do. But you won't because posting this here and getting likes from strangers gives you the validation you need so you don't actually need to bother doing better.

​@@suhdude6919 Wow, way to ruin a nice comment.

​@@Totterslane222 A gold digger talking about her husbands money isn't a nice comment.

@@suhdude6919 Nope, that's just you ascribing negative intent to the OP. As she described, her husband didn't view it that way. On top of that, men are only valued as long as they produce results, but that does not mean all women are golddiggers if they appreciate their partners rise in income.

@@suhdude6919 You're here for the wrong reasons dude and you missed just about _every_ context. I'm a man and I'm fed up with some things but that was pathetic, sorry. I hope it was just a fluke spurred on by something bad and you wrote it without thinking.

True

True

Men want one thing when they are home, PEACE. If you do ANYTHING to interrupt that peace, you are the problem. Men take flack from every direct in society. It has only gotten worse over the past 10 years. If a woman isn't making his life easier, why is she even in the picture at all?

Even if my wife did nothing but praise me everyday, I wouldn't step foot in a church.

@@Romnonaldao As a devout Christian I would say the same actually. Most churches these days are full of false christianity, full of people who pretend to be good so that they can feel superior to others. If you truly are someone who seeks spirituality then simply read the bible and pray to Jesus Christ. You can worship God wherever and whenever, you don't need some church or some priest to do it.

Thats tough

When guys like this are thrown away, heckled and then goes postal. People say we never seen this out of him. Same a bulling 😒

Talk it out and if she doesn't agree to change, then dump her

It's us men who are spoiling women with gifts and letting anything slide without demanding from them. I know that's my weak point too, but at least I know it's my weak point and I can work on it.

If you aren't married yet why put up with it? What she's showing before marriage is only the tip of the iceberg for what's there.

I miss that wonderful man so much!

Finding out how true that is

Bless that man. He will never cease to be missed.

@@charlesdeblanc3386 Fair it's not for everyone. I find it better to be alone, they to be used, lied an manipulated.

​@cmill8999 because you'd probably flip it on him if he does

@@blackice7408 what? Whose him? I'm the him.

Yeah...the serious sh!t is Tuesday. A compliment from a woman to a man can last a lifetime, because it's so rare, he can't help but remember it, no matter when it occurred. A compliment from a man to a woman has an expiration date of the next time she goes to sleep, if that long, because they carry no long-term value to her, since she doesn't trust men to be honest or to be operating without an agenda.

I’m truly not sure I have ever heard those words from any woman in my life, mother, wife, girlfriend. I’m almost 70.

She may be gone, but she no doubt would wish for you to be happy. Keep your chin up and live the rest of your life without regrets. I wish you luck and my condolences

@@MuffinImpact Thank you. Life is good. I live next door to my daughter in rural NW Montana, the most beautiful place on Earth.

I’m glad you had a good marriage but don’t forget that the older generations invented the “I hate my wife” humor genre.

I wish the generations that came before me had done a better job at raising their children, fighting immorality in society, and so on. But now, we're here. It is what it is...

You two sound a bit like my grandparents. Grandfather was about 80 at the time and every once in a while while I was visiting he would pinch grandmas bottom as she walked by. He get scolded and sometimes hit with whatever she was carrying, but afterwards she’d have that little “he thinks I’m pretty” smile on her face. A small, humorous little expression of love, blink and you’d miss it. She fell into dementia after he passed at…87 I think. She got another three years and got to meet my daughter, even though he was the first other person we told, the day we were saying our goodbyes. He passed some, six to twelve hours later? It was the next morning after we got home that I got the call. Two wonderful, flawed, amazing people and I miss them still. He would be amazed and appalled by the world we live in.

I'll go further. I don't want to hear it when I'm simply doing good. I NEED to hear it when things are going south so that I can push through.

FWIW, I’m proud of you brother ✊🏻

FWIW, I’m proud of you brother ✊🏻

@@cdubbau135 and yet society is far more degenerate today than it was back then, go figure

This is what I asked of the man in my last relationship. His phone was so important. Once the house was flooding and he came to " help me" stop the water from coming in, but then had to answer his phone, once again. After that I felt alone and did not appreciate him anymore. How can I need proof of him when he went in the bathroom on the phone while I went out in the rain and dug a ditch away from the house. He finally broke up with me, because I didn't tell him I appreciated him, lol. I was trying to stick it out until out son was an adult

What I have been observing is that men love...women don't seem to. This is why I no longer believe in romantic love between a man and a woman. Not in today's society.

@@tattooedman42The internet/social media is not real life. Divorce rates have been going down for 20+ years. Mainly because people wait longer and are more careful about who they marry. Men should try meeting women in church instead of the bar. Women too for that matter.

@@David-li4uwWow, and here I thought it was all real 🙄. My observations have NOT been on social media, seeing how this is the only platform I have. The only thing I get from the net is the stats, which I understand can be skewed. I commented on what I have observed...I also understand that it doesn't mean it's the same in all areas.

@@David-li4uw Divorce rates are going down because marriage rates dropped off a cliff. Can't a have divorce if you never married. Fewer couples take wedding vows seriously, more people cohabitate rather than marry and have kids out of wedlock.

@@David-li4uwThe chance of getting a divorce is so much higher. About a 50% chance to end up divorced and that’s JUST for the first marriage.

@@locke103 very wise words!!! Thank you 🙏

Isn't that what they want?

@keithmwest when they get what they want they get bored.

I've been told this many times recently. Hurts

I used to buy my grandfather flowers. He appreciated it so much.

I actually get my boyfriend flowers! I thought it might be dumb since I wasn't sure if he'd want them but he was so happy! Now I do little things men typically do for women, but for him. I wish I could give all of you flowers. 💐

​​@@TestaRosssa_I think that the same way we women want men to show their love in the small ways as well as the big ones, we need to do the same thing. Yes, I do think most men appreciate the same "small" things that women do. They're just taught that they're not supposed to need it. If anything, I think men are more thrilled to get these small gifts because they don't expect them and it really means a lot to them.

@@TestaRosssa_ Thank you for your kindness. We need more of this. You have a fortunate boyfriend.

@@justincase7848 I agree with you! We all do our bigger parts, but the small stuff matters so much for emotional and mental help.

The only time my ex and mother of my child cried during our divorce was when I told her that I would block her on Facebook. Only time she got angry at me was when I posted on Facebook that she left me for her lover. Can't make that shit up. 🤷🏻‍♂️

MANY men would agree. Those things are the devil in relationships

I think you need to have a talk with your wife about that

Same here

This really hits me about my relationship. She has epilepsy and she’s attached to her phone like it’s a child. Only God can help her now!😢 🙏🏻

Sadly, she probably never will.

Same. Gotta tell my husband that when he gets home.

It would probably make her feel better if she told you you ain't shit. Women get high on that.

@@Hussemo not all of us. Only the females who have believed the feminist b.s. of needing to be a "girl boss" do that. There are those of us who truly appreciate and need the men in our lives and can see through the lies and b.s. of the girl boss spiel.

@@IdratherbeinHobbiton Yeah but the only women I know like that are my sisters. And that probably came from watching what our dad, myself and my brother have been through. I'm with a woman right now who doesn't say that kind of thing to me, but she doesn't listen to me about anything I want or feel either. I traded an abusive ex wife for a passive, self involved girlfriend. I've come to believe it's one or the other, honestly. And being ignored is better than being abused any day. But both scenarios are very lonely.

Or a dog

​@@25-8Yes!

Dogs are a man's best friend for a reason

I have an older sister. My mom thought I would be like my sister. I wasn't. My mom thought I was brain damaged.

Nah Only unconditional love i ever felt was from dogs And stray cats.

100%.

So real and something my ex-fiancé didn’t want to understand

Yep! Im fighting them to but no blood, no issue...just ask any woman.

It seems as though so many women would rather see us die on our White Horse than watch us fall off of it..... I'm former Emergency Services, Civil Defense, Search and Rescue, then I became a Firefighter. Over the decades I suffered greatly. About four years ago I was diagnosed with PTSD. It kind of helps to know there's a reason for my troubles but it didn't save our marriage. 30 years gone. POOF ! Just like that ! So many times I was told, "....just man up !", "....you're too sensitive !", ".... you just need to let it go !" , and things like that. I think one of the problems is that a physical wound can be seen and the person is treated accordingly however, mental wounds are invisible. When I finally gave in, let my guard down, took my (I'm OK Face) off, allowed myself to be vulnerable, and expressed my deepest feelings, immediately, the relationship changed. I was no longer respected, trusted or sought after. All because I did what was asked of me, expressing my feelings and troubling thoughts. Guys, if she asks this, but you want to keep your relationship, DON'T DO IT ! There are many things we men just need to take to the grave with us....

Unbelievably real!!

Seeing a man genuinely cry is heart breaking.

Can relate. My mom raised 3 of us alone, saw her cry thrice in my life. My son has only seen me cry once, and that was when he was born and held him and his mother in the GYN/OR.

Really, your saw you cry when he was born? @@timwhittemore157

So much for the patriarchy

The problem is that the patriarchy - that definitely exists - is not a product of men. It’s a product of society. Built by powerful humans to further their power who happened to be mostly men. Now tough, society suffers at large, men and women, because of the structure established by these powerful shapers of society. Sadly feminists and women think that the average Joe is the one who built and upholds the patriarchy for his personal benefit. They don’t realize, that we are as powerless as they are.

No one is happy with the way society is structured

@@Shtickyaight The wealthy are, very much.

​@@W4ldgeistif that's the case then it shouldn't be called the patriarchy. That word implies males dominate society when they don't, rich people do.

Nah. They rather build a straw man in their head and pretend that's reality and how men are.

Some Wmm will be mad at you if they DREAM that you are cheating.

They don't have biologically, sociologically, or genetically what it takes for the introspection

Men are simple as fuck. The fact they don't learn is cause they see us as dispensable

Narcissists don't care to understand you, in case you hadn't noticed.

Me too, man. Me too.

This is way too common. As someone on doesn't hear it anywhere near enough, I get it. I'm proud of you for keeping on despite nobody recognizing it. That's definitely not nothing soldiering through that feeling.

I don’t know you, but I am proud of you. Of all of you. And everything all of these men in these comments do and for the men they are. Gosh these are heartbreaking, I love my man more than anything and I didn’t realize how rare that is and how shitty so many women are.. I always tell my man how proud I am of him, the man he is and everything he does, how much I appreciate who he is and that I get to love him, how proud he makes me that that I’m the woman he loves and that I get to share that with him and how much I cherish him. He’s stoic but I know it means a lot to him but I didn’t realize just how much until reading these comments. I kept worrying if I was seeming weird or something in my comments to him, if they were “too much” or something (not that he’s ever given me any inclination of that) just he’s stoic and sometimes I’d worry if my telling him all that and more was “too much” or something, now I know I won’t ever lessen or stop or hold back on telling him how wonderful he is. On behalf of all women, oh my gosh I am so sorry so many women sound terrible, and I am proud of you. I hope you all find the good women out there.. women need to do better. Men are incredible. Reading all these also makes me realize why my man is so stoic.. and also makes me realize that he probably loves my compliments more than I had any idea of. Wow I’ve always thought society needs to do better for our men, but these comments just break my heart. Thank you for all you do. I am proud of you

@@MikeDavis-kq5hh truly, thank you.

@@kiakoa3121 I really appreciate that, and never stop loving your man. You are both very lucky to have each other.

Never stop sharing that love with him. In everything you say and do. Make sure he knows and is reminded often. That first decade is soooo crucial! Be there for the ball games. Take him out on an adventure during a school day. Show him the things you loved as a kid. I used to take my 3-6 year old son to the airport to watch the planes. He'll aways remember that.

Keep telling him, as often and demonstrate it in actions not just words. Actions speak where words cannot.

They always grow up hating their parents. Wait a few more years.

@@timwhittemore157 I'm in the same boat. It's only been 6 years for me and it sucks every day.

Same here, I married a woman who has three children…I raised those kids for 18 years then she fell for another man and left me..I was devastated…

I don't even have kids, and I almost cried

Dam. What are you doing wrong? Nothing..? Usually it's the mom's job to say "im proud of you" to her kids not to their husbands. The " love you" that she says, can mean i appreciate you and im proud of you, since she doesn't lack saying it. It's all about perspective, but if you really want her to say it, ask her "are you proud of me?" And be prepared for her answer.

Some women don’t realize that men have emotional needs. She probably doesn’t realize how much it would mean if she said that to you.

N ur a great dad n hubby, n i dont think she knows how 2 communcate :(

If I heard those words come out of my wife’s mouth, I’d lose it. I’m tearing up just thinking about her saying that. I’ve actually asked if she would be willing to lie and make me think she’s telling me the truth, just say it once in a while, so I can hear those words come out of her mouth.

You're a good woman to realise this. Sadly, it's one of the double standards in raising kids & is repeated in media. Boys are taught from a young age how to treat women & provide for their partner. Girls? They're not taught hkw to treat their man, they're taught what to expect from their partner & how to be treated.

I remember the first time I told my guy I was proud of him and it took thirty minutes to convince him that I actually meant it and didn’t have any ulterior motives or something. I may not tell him I’m proud of him every single day but I will tell him whenever I’m thinking about it . I hope he knows

That's really good. And I don't know your husband of course but as a man I think I can give an advice that will work: don't say it almost every day (especially if you don't really mean it when you say it). Say it when you really feel it, when you feel he needs it. It's not about the words for us (even if it can still be appreciated), it's about the meaning. I'm guessing since you understood what it meant to him, you also had this figured out and that you show him not only by words but with your actions also. But if not, you're welcome 😊

Most of us fight nonstop our entire lives HOPING to hear someone we care about is proud of us.

Because they don’t bother learning about men. They don’t feel they need to. And to a large extent they don’t. They can get a relationship without it. This is demonstrated by the woman shaming the man in the comments for following the channel for try to understand women better. Just think about that for a few seconds

Men are NPCs in their worlds. Most women suffer from main character syndrome.

@@gm9460 So it is natural to assume that humans principally believe the opposite sex to be a kind of different species, so foreign to themselves that this alien species is not even capable of feeling the same feelings they see in themselves and for example their pets? I mean for hundreds of years men treated women like chattel, like they were a different animal without the intellect and responsibility men demonstrated. They generally had little to no rights and were considered the property of first their fathers and then their husbands. Personally I kind of have my doubts. It seems to be more of a situation of some women having notices how easy it is to cause men to be persecuted by society at large and this gives them a feeling of grandeur. After all, what is the dream of "every woman"? To be treated like a princess - so, royalty. A person of a higher class, which means that all others are but surfs. What is it they always say? A man should read their wishes from their lips, nee know them before they know them themselves. They don't want men, they want slaves. And when men no longer play this insidious game, they have tantrums, because people with the emotional level of a child, act like children.

no one ever takes the time to teach women anything at all about men. It is always all about women all the time.

It's because women have become brainwashed into selfishness and tyranny

They CAN be good or decent, .most will not

I STILL want to find this clip. but looking it up yields nothing.

This entire debacle is a giant shit test that men are just now starting to pass since the beginning of modern effeminism.. ..this is honestly why societies all through history, women were better supervised in their life choices.. ..the divorce rates and false accusation rates and paternity fraud rates paint a grim picture of women running wild, and the numbers don't lie..

Due to women understanding women, it goes both ways, can be best friends, but also worst enemies too, depending on how what mood swing mode she is in.

I've learned you can either love women or you can understand them ya can't do both ..I now understand them and honestly haven't felt love for one since

I've been in his shoes. I miss the girls more than anything. Everyday I have to catch myself before I look at things I know they'll love and know even if I bought them I'd never get to see the smile of them getting them

I see your point here but it does depend on the specifics. Being alone was never an issue for me, but being alone because my wife never thought I was good enough? It’s been 7 years and I don’t think about it much, but I still can’t help but wonder what more I could have done

Robin williams said this, right?? It hits hard.

And after all that heroics, you didn’t even receive a like on this comment?! The nerve of this public… no appreciation! xD

God bless you sir.

SEMPER FI

Do elaborate on these hate groups at school? 🤔

U R A good man. If I had a guy like U, I would tell him everyday how much I appreciate him.

Far from it, friend. The modern world distorted the idea of a healthy relationship into oblivion.

men getting any compliments at all is extremely rare to totally and completely non existent.

#fakenews

And on the rare occasion we do hear a compliment, it’s soon followed by a request for a favor.

Feminism needs to be tossed into the trashcan of history's disastrous ideas.

It starts with ourselves. Also recognise no one is here to save you. It’s up to you King. The terms “grow some balls”, “size matters” is as crucial and relevant now as ever. We are living in modern day prehistoric times.

There comes a time when Western men must toss aside Western women and seek more traditional ladies to share our lives with.

@TJAvenger-qc5ho oh, we're out there in the USA. But, you won't find us in bars or nightclubs. Try hobby shops, art classes like pottery throwing, local museums (even tiny ones), borrow (or get a puppy if you really want one) and walk in the parks, go to events at the library, and dare I say it...church. And don't look for a 10. They often don't age well and certainly not cheaply. Find someone who is neat and clean and looks like she gives a damn about how she looks. One with an easy and beautiful smile. One who pays attention to the people around her, talks to old people, holds doors for those old people or even the next person through the door. Who compliments strangers in a friendly but not fawning manner. Who is willing to laugh at herself. I'm describing me, but I'm 73, married to a fabulous man for 33 years, and not in the market.

@@janisedenton4242 great advice! 👏🏽

or how much money you make. its a secret for your eyes only.

Doing so for 11y now. Even the money thing. Works so far. Besides she really cannot fathom the demons in my head. But my brother from another mother can. Aw man. RIP to his mother. #RandomEmotionalMoment

Yep. She'll use them against you.

learned this one the hard way

Yeah. I thought it was supposed to be a partnership.. guess it's.. something else

Right back atcha brother. Take care, be well and stay safe. You matter.

🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝

You're a rock, don't ever let someone grind down your edges. Thanks for those uplifting words.

All love from all colors bro. Don't let these women fuck you up y'all just keep moving.

🤘 back at you sir!

Ouch.

Nailed it.

Hear, hear, brother!!!

Wow, having a manager do that for me, let alone a female one, would really make my day - even my year! Most people simply don't understand how important showing a little gratitude can be for someone.

Nice man, what planet are you from? I'll move there.

@@mabriff I feel you. It shocked the hell out of me, but I damn sure appreciated it. I smile every time I see her and she smiles right back.

@@SonoraSlinger Surprisingly, Earth. 🤣🤣🤣 The question is what planet is SHE from?

Wait you're appreciated at work? Factories don't appreciate anyone.

​@@SirRorschachJack I worked in a textile mill and they practically begged me to stay when I put in my notice. These places still exist

I tell my wife all the time. Ask the guys at work what they think about me. I swear social media is frying women’s brains.

​@@Shadowbanned4LyfeI totally agree with this. Frying their brains...

​@@SirRorschachJacklol working predominantly with men, what else would you expect?

I needed to hear this. I’ve been really bitchy to my husband and use my period as an excuse. He’s gotten used to it and every day during my time of the month his smile fades and he looks miserable but still helps me. It’s my period month in 4 days and I’ll make sure to be very pleasant and buy him flowers, make him food, and give him kisses to make up for being a pain in the ass, I’m genuinely sorry. Thank you I needed to hear this! Update: I forgot about this comment but anyways things are better, we’re communicating and having a good time when usually we’d be screaming at each other hahah. Things are better I can’t thank you enough

Yup just like women in the 50s used to do.

⁠@@feelmo7057Great to hear things are great. Please have a lot of sex with him and treat him like a king. And do not use your period as an excuse to treat him like crap, Men’s mental health is a serious issue.

​@feelmo7057 Your feelings may be impulsive during these times, but it doesn't make it ok to say and do whatever you want, it doesn't mean that you're entitled to a free pass and unearned forgiveness, and it especially doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt and have lasting effects on your partner. At least you have gained self awareness and have taken accountability for it. Sooo many women don't.

I'm never going to be ok with male violence. So I'm gonna keep judging.

God, I would have loved to hear this. So many years of sacrifice, only to be thrown away when I needed her support.

Feel free to put it in your calendar to similarly appreciate him. Even if you tell him or he ever notices it happens on x regular basis he won't be offended that it's not "spontaneous enough".

❤

No ,you ladies have the inner child ,real men don't need anything. Sad but true for you.

You give that man a hug from us

Geez, it is tough out here

27 years, and not once? For real dude? That's... you sure she loves you?

😅😅😅

I feel ya bud.

the scarier part is those were wives or SOs. I can't imagine being with anyone like that, and I'm 40, single, haven't dated in a decade.

What’s crazy is a woman like this can make everything about them. And then everything becomes about them but they still don’t think it’s about them. ESPECIALLY if god forbid you try to make something about you for a minute. Never satisfied.

Sounds similar to my ex wife. Better to be alone than with a selfish narcissist, which is the majority of western women

Agreed

I agree completely

All men

Yes Sir! @@avalerionbass

And yet all I ever get is being pushed away by women.

As much as all men deserve much better the fact remains that women (not all) but enough to break a man inside…talk and treat men like they are personal servants with nothing more to offer.

Including his favourite meal, more sex!ect.!

Does he hot box you under the covers when he farts? This is one of the most intimate ways to nurture a healthy relationship.

After I finally figured out how to tell my wife I didn’t feel valued at all she has made an effort to express her appreciation to me. It feels weird but it helps. For men it’s extremely difficult to verbalize our feelings so we battle our demons on our own and say we’re fine. It’s not that we choose to not talk about our feelings, we just can’t. I have to examine myself as if I was someone else to try to understand how I feel and why. It’s hard to explain and probably impossible for women to understand because they are the exact opposite. They often don’t know how to hold anything inside and that tends to lead to rash decisions and overreacting.

You're one of a very few good women. Men don't need much but kind words to him, make him light up and do even more for you. It's quite simple really.

I asked my wife to tell me I'm doing a good job of providing for her and that she appreciates it. Her response? "That's your boss's job, not mine."

Lol I turn 40 this year and have never seen this. I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Get a dog

@@claytonmiles Or, hear me out, we could ask Elon to genetically engineer cute doggirls who would do that. We'd replace women within a century.

​@@StarboyXL9are you sure you want Elon in charge of designing women? His girl is well known for being extremely off-putting, weird and autistic with bad social skills. I like girls like that, but I have a feeling most men don't. Elon likes girls like that because he himself is also weird and autistic.

Bingo!

Correct but if we open up then we know it will be used against us one day. That's why I keep it for myself cause of that 1 bad relationship when i actually opend up and it was used against me later on plus she told it to all of her friends which came up to the surface after we broke up. So guys stay silent and spare u the humiliation.

exactly!

My wife doesn't weaponize things against me, so I can vent freely, but this is one of her behaviors I have to remind her to control and it is stunningly common in women.

You sure she's not a man?

Hmm something seems off. 🤔

​@@nateblanche2551Not all women are horrible. This man seems to have found a keeper

@@nateblanche2551 How so?

​@@frakis2771Perhaps he's wondering why you can't convince your wife of her worth to you? Whatever his point, keep showing her how much she means to you, it will sink in if you don't stop. Best wishes for you both.

It took you to have sons to know that? It's ironic that women don't consider men human and at the same time call themselves the most empathetic

@@sada3366 Yes it took sons for me to learn that. It isn’t that I didn’t consider men human, it’s just that I grew up in a violent home where dad and brothers were bullies and parents thought that was ok.

You bring people YOU love into the world. Then you teach them how to survive and then thrive. Change their world if you can but that is less important. This is the way.

The world unfortunately will hate them for being male, I think the best thing to do is to teach them to be resilient and how to love themselves because they will probably go a long time without love from others.

Yup pretty much

Women were being treated terrible that they had to march for certain rights just because they were born female, awww

@@purplelove3666 what does this reply have to do with the comment? Did you reply on the wrong comment?

That is heartbreaking. Hope that at least they have good friends or family to boost their moral. Move away from people who take you for granted and believe me, there is still hope. Loving people do exist, just have to be patient..

imma be real with you hermana.. i don't think many of them wanna listen. because we've been screaming this for so long that if you haven't heard this message by now, i don't think it's ever gonna be heard.

It is quite obvious to us as men at this point that it's not that women need to hear the message it's that they don't care. Go your own way boys!

They already know it, but they don't care

They don't listen and don't care

I don't think these type of women care. You probably aren't like these type of women which is why you do care and thus, don't need a series like this. These type of men and women are the devils children and if you play with the devils kids you're going to get burned.
